The Winona SHS Winhawks are in the throws of their end-of-season taper, working toward making their statement at the Section 1AA Swimming Championships.
In the mean time, all the other squads with Winona ties are busy.
The University of Minnesota Men & Women will be lapping the Iowa Hawkeyes in Iowa City Friday night. Both Matt Papenfuss and Abbey Staats should be making the trip and I will report on how they and the Gophers do south of the border.
Also Friday night the Minnesota State University - Mankato Mavericks will swim at home against their rivals right up the road in St. Peter, Gustavus Adolphus. Mary Bastian will be looking to help her Mavericks get into the win column for the first time this season.
Saturday sees the Winona YMCA Winfins travel to Austin for the annual Pumpkin Relays. Usually the first meet of the season, the Winfins have their National Virtual meet under their belts so they should swim well in Austin.
The SMU Cardinals will travel to St. Paul and swim against the Pipers of Hamline. Both the schools squads, men & women are close in size so it should be a good competition. As soon as I see results I will let you know how Winonans John Fox and Aaron Hayes do, as well as our adopted Winonan Tom Walsh.
Also on Saturday UW-LaCrosse will drive past us to swim in Northfield at the Cows, Colleges, & Contentment Classic with Carlton and St. Olaf.
Sunday the Winona Wizards will be traveling to Farmington for the Tigershark Thanksgiving Classic. Shannon Wolner will be directing some Wizards while they compete with 650 other USA swimmers in the second open ABC meet of the season which appears to be a very popular weekend.
I will try to post all the results as they become available.
